Pregnacare is the most popular and trusted method for mothers-to-be to safeguard their diet, from those who are planning for pregnancy or already pregnant, right through to end of breast-feeding. A scientifically developed formulation of 16 essential vitamins and minerals, Pregnacare includes vitamin B12 and folic acid at exactly the level recommended for the development of the unborn baby. It also contains natural source vitamin E, which is better absorbed by the mother and transported to the foetus than synthetic vitamin E, with essential vitamins and minerals shown to help maintain a healthy pregnancy. Pregnacare is often recommended by health professionals including midwives and nurses to help safeguard a mother's diet. It provides a complete spectrum of essential nutrients at carefully chosen safe levels, developed on the basis of international research both recently and over the past 20 years. Zinc is important for milk production and normal foetal growth and development, iron is important for blood formation as the baby develops, and vitamins B6 and B12 work synergistically with folic acid to help maintain a normal healthy progression of pregnancy. Vitamin K is also important during lactation to help the baby maintain healthy levels of blood clotting.
